Ingredients

• Sugar - You can also use other forms of sweetener here, like natural sweeteners or even honey.
• Hibiscus tea bag - We used a Tazo Passion tea bag for this.
• Green tea bag - The original drink uses green coffee extract from green coffee beans. I decided to simply this recipe to use green tea bags which is a more common ingredient.
• Berry tea bag - You can use any flavor, we chose blueberry.
• Blackberries - Fresh or frozen work just fine.
• White grape juice - This is to add sweetness to the drink.

See recipe card for quantities.

How to Make this Starbucks Hibiscus Tea Recipe

Step One: Add 1 cup boiling water to the sugar, and stir to dissolve all the sugar.Add the rest of the water to the tea bags in a separate measuring cup and let them steep for 3-4 minutes.

Step Two: Add the simple syrup to the brewed tea. Make sure all the sugar is dissolved.

Step Three: Add the blackberries and sweetened tea to a mason jar.

Step Four: Add the grape juice. Serve with ice immediately or store in the refrigerator.

Substitutions

• Natural sweeteners - If you want to cut down on the amount of sugar that you are adding, you can swap out sugar for a natural sweetener option or even just limit it.

Variations

• Tea flavors - You can easily change the flavor of this tea by using white tea or even black tea bags.
• Add garnish - Dried hibiscus flowers would be a really cute garnish for this Starbucks refreshers drink.
• Add different fruits - Turn this into a Starbucks very berry hibiscus refresher by adding fresh blackberries and fresh blueberries. You just need a tall cup to add more fruit to this simple hibiscus drink.
• Coconut milk - To make this a creamy drink, you can skip adding the white grape juice concentrate and add a little bit of coconut milk instead. This creativity is how new drinks are created.
